This is a proposal cake with a Zombie theme. The actual proposal is going to play out like this in a real graveyard, but with a ring instead of a heart! The figures are made from modelling chocolate. The cake itself is lemon sponge filled with homemade lemon curd and real lemon buttercream. It's covered on sugarpaste and the grass, railings, path and vines etc. are all piped with royal icing.

Rockhopper penguin. 14 inches tall carved from chocolate cake. Covered in modelling chocolate. The egg was a pink angel cake inside to reflect the gender of the baby.
I made this Christmas cake for my Mum and Dad. It's a traditional 3 month matured & alcohol-fed fruit cake, marzipanned and then smooth royal iced over 5 days. Then i put modern piping on top. I hand sculpted the reindeer from white modelling chocolate (his collar is red royal icing and a dragee for the bell) so he is edible, but Mum wants to keep him :)
I wanted to make it a bit of a challenge so I decided to make an outdoor tree and include the trunk in the design. The tree itself is almost 2 feet tall and is a stacked and hand-carved chocolate cake with chocolate ganache. The foliage is made from green modelling chocolate. The ornaments are a combination of dragees (baubles), piped royal icing (candy canes, snow flakes, hearts, snowmen, penguin, small stars) and modelling chocolate (gingerbread men, holly leaves). I made the star on top of the tree from isomalt and the 'tinsel' around the tree is spun sugar. The presents under the tree are vegan, gluten free vanilla cakes covered with vegan sugarpaste. To finish the whole thing off I added mini fairy lights to the tree.
Go Kart cake and matching cupcakes for an 11th birthday. The cake is chocolate and the model pieces are made of modelling chocolate. The entire cake is edible.
A vanilla cake for a diamond wedding anniversary. I covered the cake in ivory fondant which I quilted in a diamond pattern and added small edible pearls. I made the '60' and the sugar diamonds and diamantées on wires from isomalt. Orchids are the couples favourite flower, I moulded these from chocolate and painted with edible colours.
Whole cake is edible. Chocolate cake filled and crumb coated with chocolate ganache and then covered with modelling chocolate. The 'sawdust' is white chocolate curls. The corkscrew and grapes are also modelling chocolate. The bottle is rice crispie treats covered in ganache and then modelling chocolate. I used confectioners glaze to get the glass-like effect on the bottle. The label is printed edible paper.
A Ruby Wedding Anniversary cake. The little cat is called Cass (in real life). And the bird bath is one of her favourite places to hang out apparently :). The cakes are Lemon (bottom tier) and coconut (top tier). The ruffles are sugarpaste (fondant). The figures/tree are modelling chocolate and the garden piped royal icing.
